Most HD (High-definition) digital camcorders produce MTS extension files, especially for Sony Handy cams. MTS/M2TS files are AVCHD videos with perfect video quality, but not so widely accepted by editing software and media players as common video formats like MPEG, WMV and AVI. Besides, the MTS files must be burned to HD DVD or blu-ray disc to obtain the original HD quality (usually 1920*1080). Even if you find some trick to burn the MTS files onto standard DVD, it will turns out with degraded image and slow motion.
